Seattle isn't growing; there are already an insane number of airbus crews overnighting in Seattle every night and its going to get worse this summer. The company is going to save a lot on hotel costs, have reserves where they need to be, and reduce their staffing requirement. Anyone who was paying attention to how much flying was being done out of Seattle should have seen this coming.

The good news is that the remaining airbus pilots should see better trips and might not have to fly into Seattle as much.
